Chapter 71: Hidden Title

The solution was simple, just control the Dou Qi itself and break through this wisp flame of Fallen Heart Flame.

The Fallen Heart Flame would refine and solidify the Dou Qi, a process that would deplete the wisp flame energy, and as long as he broke through it with enough Dou Qi, this wisp flame would immediately disappear.

However, Xiao Ming didn't do this.

This was because he had a faster form.

With a flick of his mind, he commanded the Spirit within the Qi Spiral to quickly rush towards the wisp flame, and with a sudden suction, the wisp of shapeless flame was devoured by the Spirit.

Xiao Ming was a bit disappointed when he felt that the Spirit did not seem to have grown much after swallowing the wisp flame.

'Indeed, although this wisp flame is indeed the split flame of the Fallen Heart Flame, the energy it contains is too scarce and is no longer useful to the Spirit that has devoured a Heavenly Flame.'

With a sigh in his heart, Xiao Ming opened his eyes.

In the middle of the softly lit ancient tower, Xiao Ming's movements were noticed by the students who had been surrounding him and whispering softly to each other.

"This... he hasn't even been here for a minute, how come he opened his eyes!"

"He couldn't have regained consciousness on his own with the Heart Flame burning him!"

Ignoring these shocked students, Xiao Ming directly entered the deepest part of the tower.

"Make way, make way, Elder Liu is coming this way." Shortly after Xiao Ming left, an alarming voice was suddenly heard sounding from outside the crowd.

In this "Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower", the elders of the various levels of the tower had the highest status.

Anyone who offended them here would have a hard time, and they could use their position to hinder them, leaving the person who offended them crying without tears.

As the crowd parted, a plainly dressed old man slowly entered, his smiling gaze swept the room, but he did not find the supposed new student.

This couldn't help but make his brow furrow, thinking he had been tricked.

But he was in no hurry to be angry but turned to the student who had called him and said.

"What's the situation, and where's the new student who was burned by Heart Flame that you spoke of?"

"This... I don't know."

That student looked at the entrance and Xiao Ming had disappeared, a bit dumbfounded, how could he know where the new student had gone? He was clearly there a moment ago.

At that moment, someone beside him relieved him.

"Elder Liu, that new student has already entered the tower."

"Entered the tower?" Elder Liu was confused, "Isn't he a new student? How did he break free from the Heart Flame's temper."

'Couldn't it be that he knows how to consume the Heart Flame? But consuming the Heart Flame isn't that fast, it would take at least ten minutes!'

Puzzled, Elder Liu asked again, "How long was he at the entrance?"

"Xiao Ming stayed for about a minute, I think."

"One minute! Wait, that new student is Xiao Ming!"

"Yes, I saw his battle with Wu Tao and the others yesterday, I can't be wrong, is there something wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong, this kid has always been a monster, if it's him, breaking free from the Heart Flame doesn't seem impossible." Elder Liu let out a light laugh and said.

The Jia Nan Academy Elders, looking at their white hair and beards, it was known that they must have been at Jia Nan Academy for quite a few years.

There were many Outer and Inner Academy Elders, and they all knew each other, and Elder Huo, Xiao Ming's teacher, was also the Head of the Alchemy Department, a fifth-tier alchemist.

Therefore, Elder Liu naturally also knew Elder Huo.

Besides the Fire Energy Hunting Competition in which Xiao Ming stole all the senior students, Xiao Ming's great name has been heard like thunder for a long time.

...

It was Xiao Ming's first time entering the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, which was buried deep in the earth and only exposed a section of the tower, the area inside the tower was so spacious that it was unexpected for Xiao Ming.

While walking along the road, Xiao Ming discovered that the space inside the tower on the first level was enough for 500 people to cultivate at the same time.

In the space inside the tower, which was laid out in a circular shape, there were cultivation rooms of different sizes, but at that time, most of these cultivation rooms were already occupied by people.

In addition, above the entrance of these rooms, there were some small red posters hanging, but the words written on the posters were different.

Xiao Ming stopped and looked at it. It turned out that on these small red posters were written words representing three levels: high level, intermediate level, and low level, so he thought that the levels of the cultivation rooms of Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower were different.

As he slowly walked from east to south, Xiao Ming found that all the high-level cultivation halls were near the center of the tower, while, on its periphery, there were intermediate-level cultivation halls and low-level cultivation halls on the farthest periphery.

Looking at these cultivation halls, Xiao Ming inwardly said, 'The fire energy expended in this first level is the same, however, the academy is dividing the levels of the cultivation halls here, in order for them to compete for good cultivation rooms, there are probably quite a few fights here every day.'

As he paced, Xiao Ming's footsteps stopped as he realized that he had arrived at the central place of the tower.

'Is this the fire pit leading to the bottom?'

Contemplating the bottomless black hole that appeared in front of him, Xiao Ming pondered for a moment, looking around as if no one was there.

Curiosity got the better of him and he slowly advanced two steps to the edge of the black hole and carefully looked down.

It was dark and shadowy, stretching to the end of his line of sight.

The eerie darkness, with almost no light, caused a slight feeling of vertigo in his head.

'Can't I see anything? I see, Fallen Heart Flame is invisible and intangible, so it is really impossible to see it with the naked eye, maybe I should try using a Heavenly Flame'.

Xiao Ming's eyes stared into the deep darkness, and after a long time, the red flames inside his body surged into his eyes, and instantly, his coal-black pupils transformed into dark red pupils.

As the flames emerged in his pupils, the endless darkness below began to fade in an extremely strange manner.

However, as the darkness grew dimmer and dimmer, Xiao Ming's vision was no longer empty.

Under the gaze of those red eyes, in the endless darkness, loomed a huge, invisible Fire Python which was shockingly over ten meters thick and had an unknown length.

As if sensing Xiao Ming's gaze, the Fire Python raised its head fiercely, and its eyes, which were bigger than a flashlight, met Xiao Ming's.

'Oh no, I shouldn't have been carried away by curiosity, now it seems I've caused some trouble.'

Realizing that something was wrong, Xiao Ming dodged and retreated a dozen meters away.

Just as Xiao Ming retreated, the huge invisible fire python appeared at the entrance of the fire pit.

The fire python's entire body was engulfed in somewhat distorted flames, and its gigantic mouth was wide open, with fangs as thick as an adult's thighs burning in twisted waves.

Feeling the intensity of the fire in the fire python's body, Xiao Ming felt that even if it was a Dou Emperor powerhouse that was touched by it, he feared that they would be turned into ashes in a matter of seconds!

With a furious roar, the Fire Python shot out of the darkness, but just as it was about to reach a position five meters above the deep black hole, the surrounding space fluctuated violently.

With the help of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, Xiao Ming could faintly notice that it seemed that at this moment, the space around the black hole was strangely distorted to construct a spatial cage.

Although the invisible fire python was very powerful, when it hit the spatial cage, it only caused the cage to fluctuate for a while but had no other effect.

Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, the fire python went berserk, and invisible flames shot out of its huge mouth, burning the space cage continuously, but unfortunately, no matter how much it burned, the space cage still stood firm!

After struggling frantically for a long time, the invisible fire python finally exhausted itself and let out a hiss of rage from the sky.

As the fire python disappeared, the space cage gradually faded away until it finally disappeared.

"The fire spirit of this Fallen Heart Flame is really violent, I must not approach without the strength of a Dou Emperor, Xiao Yan died once when he devoured it, he can revive, I don't have that ability."

Wiping the sweat from his head, Xiao Ming said in a low voice.

"Child, what are you doing here?" a clear, childish girl's voice suddenly sounded from behind Xiao Ming.

From the sound of this voice, the person must be two or three meters behind Xiao Ming.
